Upwards of One Hundred Thousand Spe.
cies Recognized by Sclen. lists.
Were it possible to take census of
the individual insects upon the globe,
the result must be an array of figures
of whose meaning we could form little
conception. Members of each species
multiply in countless millions, yet even
the number of distinct species is so
great that we can hardly do more than
guess at it. Entomologists generally
concede that upwards of 100000 species
of insects have been recognized, and
some authors place the number as high
as 100000, while it is probable that
these may represent not more than a
tenth OF the number actually inhabiting
the earth's surface. Probably not less
than one-half of the indicated FORMS"
says Prof. Heilprin, "belong to the
order Coleoptera, or beetles, which is
by FAR the most numerously represented
OF all the orders. The Lepidop-
terra, or butterflies, have thus far
yielded some $4,000 species-or about
one-thirteenth of the total number
(20O,OOO estimated by Speyer for the
world at large-and an equal number
may, perhaps, be credited to the Hv-
menoptera (bees, wasps and ants), the
Hemiptera (bugs) and Diptera (flies).
Inc orthoptera, or straightforward in
sects, which include the locusts. Grass
hoppers, etc, are considerably less nu-
merous, while the species of netted
forms (Neuroptera) probably number
only about 1000. The insects are most
numerously developed in the tropics,
but they are by no means rare in the
coolest regions reached by man. Sir
George Mares brought home no less
lhan forty-tive species of true insects
from beyond the seventy-eighth paral.
lei OF latitude in Grinnell Land, and
more than 300 in Iceland. Many of the
insects of earlier geological ages are
known to us as fossils from the rocks
